I got home, eggs aren't in the bator yet, because I put too much water in and humidity is 52%.

Atchaly..... Scratch the last sentance. I just found that the bag filled with water around the probe was leaking...
Thas' easy to fix!

My cooler won't fit my egg turner in it so I m back on the search. Just happy I remembered to check before we started drilling holes.

Are you making a coolerbator? I retro fit my turner to fit the cooler I have. Helps on chicken math as well

Hi Sally. I'm sorry about abandoning you. Here's more incubator pictures for you. I'll get eggs next week to put in. I'll post more pictures then.

Hen

Nest

The MacGyverbator (which is now a word in my dictionary).

This made me giggle because I can only fit 15 eggs MAX in my incubator build and it is hurting/helping my math too.

I've started the growout pen build. Not going as fast as I'd like for it to be, but I am making a little progress.

4 - 4"x4"x10' treated posts form the foundation of roughly 100 square feet.



2"x4" treated lumber (ripped in half) create the wall frames. It's lightweight so it'll need additional diagonal bracing. Front wall is 6' 3" and back wall is 4' 6", which provides more than adequate slope.



That's it so far, but my goal is to at least get the roof on it before the day's up...

Well I didn't get as far as I had planned. Started laying the tin, and would have finished before sundown... but I ran out of 1" tin screws that I like to use to screw the tin to the 1"x4"s since they don't go all the way through and split my wig. I thought I had plenty of them left over from the coop build, so I didn't bother checking...

I only got two sheets hung...

Rafters installed.



Slats installed.



Two little sheets of 12' tin installed.
